Lena Dunham Shares 7 Secrets From the Set of Girls—and Tells How You Can Meet the Cast

ICYMI: There's only one more season of Girls left (the sixth and final season will air in 2017), and though we're a solid six months from those last episodes, we've already started feeling nostalgic. (Tear.) So when we heard that Lena Dunham was providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the cast of Girls on a set visit as they film the final season, we seized the chance to grill her on some of the secrets of those sets. Here are the seven tidbits we discovered:

1. First off, the show is actually filmed on sets, not in real apartments.

"It shocks everyone," says Lena. "But we were careful to make them realistic small Brooklyn apartments, not fancy lofts that our characters could never afford." Thanks for that! "I actually love every odd imperfection of our sets," she adds. "They feel so real to me, like home."

"My beloved friend Natasha has autism," Lena says. "She has an amazing family and resources and I love seeing her thrive, and want that for every person with autism. I feel lucky to have been introduced to this organization by my friend Esther (Natasha's mom) because of how they focus on education but also the social component. Someone you know loves someone with autism and that's a fact—this affects everyone."
